I have Nero6, so I can rip my cds/dvds and put them on my computer in an iso format. I use this for my common programs like XP Pro, MS Office, and Macromedia DW/Flash. Then all the self installers are kept in their own folder as well. I think my programs folder is about 10GB in space. After that, I have the Outlook Express Backup Utility, that creates a backup of my OE. I have this saved to the My Documents folder. Then I have all of my folders nicely organized, and simply do a copy/paste of the My Docs folder, and paste it into my backup drive. It takes around 1.5 hours to copy all 45-50GB of data. If my main drive crashes (which is supposed to last for around 135 years) I can boot from my backup drive, that has a windows partition, a linux partition, and then a 3rd partition for my backups. While I wait for the new drive to come in, I will be up and running fine! Of course if you really care, you can always do a Raid1 to ensure all data is kept together. I never install crapware that contains those programs with bundled software (latest version of Napster was the only thing I have installed). My system stays clean, and with a 2 minte run of AdAware SE Personal and Spybot S&D, the only things that are picked up, are bad cookies. The entire idea of having a backup utility scares me. My way takes a little getting used to, but the way I do backups seems to work great for me. quote: Anybody try this yet?? - And then to address the question...

It's OK, does running backups while I'm working. It gives you the option of keeping multiple versions of your files but I found that nearly strangled the machine so now I just keep the one and it's fine. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
